sell: Daytona Beach FL: We're Into Scumbag Eradication!
- 05/11/08 08:22 PM
This year, the Daytona Beach police explorers got creative in their fundraising. They decided to sell police caricature T-shirts, depicting our police officers as the "Scumbag Eradication Team". This is great! LOL. And apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so. The police explorers originally only printed 300 of the T-shirts that say "Scumbag Eradication Team. Not in our Town!" Those 300 shirts all sold within 3 days. So another 250 were ordered, and again sold right away. I have no news on how long the program will continue. The Explorer team, and now the accompanying T-shirts serve the purpose … (8 comments)
sell: Port Orange issues new light law
- 05/11/08 08:02 PM
Recently, some Port Orange neighbors had a feud over a 1,000 watt light bulb that was shining from one house, onto the other. As usual, not all neighbors can get along. And in this case a feud between nieghbors over a bright light, resulted in a change in the rules regarding how bright, outdoor louds are allowed to be. This new rule was added to the city's Nuisance Ordinance. It basically allows for safety lights, but not nuisance lights. So you're not allowed to decide you dislike your neighbor, and install excessively bright lights that shine directly on neighbor's house. Yeah, … (2 comments)

Did you watch America's Got Talent last season? Do you remember who won? Well I did, and I do! The winner was Terry Fator, the Ventriloquist and Puppeteer, who had an incredible singing voice too. It was such an awesome finale. Terry Fator just broke down and cried. He was so passionate about what he did. Can you imagine working in an industry that is thought of as being only for children, while desperately wanting to be taken seriously in an adult venue? Terry's dreams came true when he was voted by all of America, as the 1st place winner by … (6 comments)

sell: Blogging for Real Estate. Does it work?
- 03/27/08 03:08 PM
Yes, this is another real estate blog... kinda. I see the question being tossed around a lot amongst other real estate bloggers, as to whether blogging actually works or not. Yesterday, I wrote a quick post to this blog, about the 3 new real estate listings I had just taken. But I neglected to mention one thing. The lead that brought those listings came directly through my Active Rain real estate blog. A man who is trying to help his parents get their investment properties sold, after having a bad experience with another local REALTOR®, did an internet search and found my … (10 comments)

sell: Why Good Communication Skills are Necessary in Real Estate and in Life
- 03/20/08 02:45 PM
A real estate dilemma... Proper communication in real estate business... or any business! I was just reading a post by Jason Crouch, who is the owner of a real estate brokerage in Austin, Texas. Jason's post is titled "How to properly leave a brokerage-Am I wrong to expect a call?" Jason was discussing the reasons why REALTORS® choose to leave one brokerage and move to another. But he was most puzzled by why some agents just transfer their real estate licenses, without even having the courtesy of having a conversation with their soon-to-be previous broker. If you're not in the industry, just … (8 comments)
